How to Practice Gel Nail Designs Without Damage | Magel Training Tips
Want to Try Gel Nail Designs Without Damaging Your Nails?
Do you love experimenting with gel nail designs but worry about the damage caused by frequent removal? You're not alone. Removing gels can weaken natural nails over time, especially during repeated practice.
This article introduces a beginner-friendly way to practice gel nail designs without harming your nails — using a training coat. We’ll also introduce a pro-loved top gel from Magel, perfect for both practice and actual applications.
Why Gel Nail Removal Can Be Harsh on Your Nails
Traditional gel nails require curing with UV or LED lights. Removal typically involves filing the surface and soaking in remover solution, which can dry and damage the nails. This is especially concerning when you're still learning.
That's where the training coat comes in — an easy-to-use solution that helps prevent nail damage during practice sessions.
What Is a Training Coat?
A training coat is a base layer applied to the nail before gel or glue. It acts as a barrier, allowing the gel to peel off more easily and gently. Here are three benefits:
- Practice without filing your natural nails
- No need for remover solution — avoid dryness and irritation
- Peels off naturally in a few days, making it perfect for repetitive practice
How to Use a Training Coat (Perfect for Beginners)
- Apply the training coat on clean, bare nails
- Allow it to air-dry completely
- Apply your regular gel nail and top gel as usual
Once dry, the gel layer can be peeled off with minimal effort — no filing or soaking needed. This makes it ideal for learning and design trials ✨
